The Swansea Marina Summer Trail Returns for a Second Year!
Following the fantastic success of last summer, Dawsons is delighted to once again team up with Morgans Hotel to bring back the Swansea Marina Summer Trail for its second year.
Running throughout the whole of August, this free, family-friendly trail invites children and their families to explore the beautiful Swansea Marina while solving clues, discovering interesting facts, and enjoying quality time together during the school holidays.
This year's trail begins at Morgans Hotel, where participants can collect their trail sheet before setting off on a fun adventure around the Marina. Along the route, participants will uncover hidden clues, learn fascinating facts about the local area, and complete challenges before finishing at the Dawsons Marina Office, where completed trail sheets can be handed in.
The FREE trail has been designed to encourage families and/or anyone wanting to take part to get outdoors, enjoy everything the Marina has to offer, and create lasting summer memories together.
Free Family Fun Throughout August
Whether you're a Swansea local or visiting the city during the holidays, the Marina Summer Trail offers a great opportunity to explore one of Swansea's most picturesque locations at your own pace.
The trail is suitable for children (and grown ups) of all ages and can be completed whenever it's convenient throughout August, making it the perfect activity for families looking for free entertainment during the summer break.
